FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The shoes feature a standard width fit. While the seamless mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them less comfortable without a break-in period. Consider trying them on if possible.

How do I clean the OrthoLite Eco insole?

The OrthoLite Eco insole can typically be removed. Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.

What is the lug height on the outsole?

The outsole features hike-specific traction with 5mm lug heights, designed to provide grip on varied terrain.

Can I wear these shoes in very hot weather?

The shoes have breathable construction, but the waterproof membrane can reduce overall ventilation compared to non-waterproof shoes. They are best suited for moderate temperatures or wet conditions where waterproofing is beneficial.

What is the main advantage of the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM?

The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM is designed to provide a secure and natural midfoot lockdown, enhancing stability and preventing unwanted foot movement within the shoe during hiking.

How long does the waterproofing typically last?

The OutDry waterproof construction is integrated into the shoe's structure and is designed for durability. Proper care and maintenance will help preserve its effectiveness over the lifespan of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite 'waterproof' claim

Ensure the OutDry membrane is intact. Check for damage to the shoe upper or seams. Ensure laces are tied correctly to prevent water entry around the ankle collar. If the issue persists, the waterproofing may be compromised.

Slipping on certain surfaces

The Adapt Trax outsole is designed for varied conditions. Ensure the outsoles are clean from excessive mud or debris, as this can impact traction. For extremely slick surfaces, caution is always advised.

Midfoot feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM allows for customized lockdown. Try different lacing patterns or tension levels to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct shoe size.

Discomfort or blisters after a short hike

The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter walks initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. Check that the lacing is not too tight in any specific area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These shoes require no complex setup. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. Adjust the laces using the NAVIC FIT SYSTEM for a secure midfoot lockdown before each use.

Compatibility:

Suitable for adult male hikers of all experience levels. Compatible with standard hiking socks. They are designed for trail hiking and are not intended for highly technical mountaineering or extreme sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources such as radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Loosen laces and remove insoles if possible to speed up drying.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: The OutDry membrane is durable, but avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Regular cleaning helps maintain breathability and water resistance.
